Was the Primavera Based Off of the Fasti? Over the course of reading various articles about the Primavera by Botticelli I have realized that there are many similar view points. However, there are many different ways that they are executed. In my previous paper on the Primavera I saw how Zirpolo could view the painting in a feminist style. With both of the articles that I am writing about in this articles there is a connection between a series of documents as well as iconography. While it is…

arrogance and need to prove himself, his unfaithfulness to his wife Penelope, and his bloodlust and unjust killings. Throughout the book Odysseus shows these characteristics through his actions. He Insults a Cyclops, he stays with and sleeps with a nymph for seven long years and he slaughters many maids who barely did anything wrong. A hero is humble, faithful and kind, it seems to me that Odysseus is the opposite of that and should not be considered a hero. Odysseus is a very arrogant person…

She protected purity and young children. She was one of the virgin goddess who valued pureness and usually seen either hunting and protecting animals or nurturing the young. However she has a different side also. If any one of her nymphs were to fall in love be seduced, she would turn them into animals and kill them. If someone is referred to Artemis or even her incarnation, they are usually described for their love of animals and young children. This is the kind of person who doesn’t…

The Greek gods were very important in Ancient Greece. I chose to write about who I think are the three most important gods Zeus, Poseidon, and Hades, their wives Hera and Persephone (sans Poseidon’s wife), and Mount Olympus, their meeting place. Zeus is the king of all the Greek gods, the ruler of Mount Olympus, and one of the Twelve Olympians (most important gods). He controls the weather and can order arounds any god or mortal but cannot control the Fates (the three goddesses of destiny,…

Being an art student in this time period, what is taught to me is closer related to the modern art world more so than the traditional ways of painting like Bouguereau’s Nymphs and Satyr.

Because of this, the expectations of me as an artist today relies on breathing new…

The Spaniards subjected the land of the Aztecs and the Mayans. It was then called the land of Mexico where the cacao trees were first seen. The Spaniards then shipped the cacao to the Philippines through the use of the galleon trading system. The Philippines was the first country outside Mesoamerica that plants and grows cacao. It became more popular to the country and also to the other parts of the world. As stated by the Cacao Manual published by the Inter-American Institute of American…

One day King Playdectus of Iolcus was told by an oracle to beware a man wearing one sandal. King Playdectus was not worried about this because he killed his brother in law for the throne and the rest of his family died, or at least he thought so. He couldn't remember if his brother’s wife and child died because he was drunk at the time, but he dismissed the idea of relatives being alive, after all, he was the all powerful and almighty king. While the King was in his palace, Draco, the King’s…

background history, his fights for his honor, and even his death are just three of the many reasons he fulfilled one of the most famous Greeks Heros. To begin with, Achilles was the child of Peleus a mortal and the king of the Myrmidons and Thetis a nymph, which makes Achilles considered a demigod. Most people think of Achilles as just a greek, that got shot…
